School Building Assessment Underway

Results will guide future decisions on facility improvements

4J is getting an outside perspective on the quality of its school buildings. The district’s schools are 57 years old on average, apart from four schools built in the 2000s.

With limited resources, the district must be strategic about investing in renovations to better support learning. An outside firm will assess 4J's school buildings and provide the data needed to make smart choices about prioritizing improvements.

Each school building will be evaluated in four areas:

• Site conditions
• Physical condition of the building
• Educational suitability
• Technology readiness

Findings will be shared after the work is completed this spring. The project is funded from the district’s Surplus Property Capital Fund.
